A cute, fun bag made from a pattern found on the Internet and a sneak peek at a project you'll be hearing about soon.

Lara talked Wednesday about a woman's reaction to how much her sweater could, theoretically, cost. Today, let's talk payoff of giving handmade

I was standing in line to pay for my lunch last week and a lady behind me asked me where I bought my sweater.

I just wanted to let you all know about some classes coming up this summer. They look great, so be sure to sign up soon so that you don't get left out!

This is a glance at what's on the calendar this week.

We have uploaded a PDF of the Rural Artists' Studio tour map for your downloading pleasure.

 This week I take a foray into designing my own mitts, and talk to Karen Neal, who is light-years ahead of me.

What began as a passing comment made among artist friends in rural Allen County will culminate next weekend in a rural artists' studio tour in the Leo-Cedarville-Spencerville area.

This week, Lara has a preview of this week's Math4Knitters, Crafty Living and Joyce still has flowers on the brain, this time in the form of a cotton crocheted bag.

Thursday is the 40th anniversary of Earth Day. Here are some ways you can recycle in your craft.

Joyce has flowers on her mind because it's been so sunny and beautiful lately. Lara is playing with combining a very simple stitch pattern with spiral-rib knitting. This week's Math4Knitters Crafty Living is short, but geeky.

Joyce saw a quilt block that a co-worker was working on and asked her to write a guest blog post. This is it.

I love to include my "what if" thoughts in my design process. What if I used twisted stitches to accent a spiral-rib knit piece? (result:

...it's all my fault.

This is a peek at the Crafty Living Calendar for this week.

 This week features a circle sweater pattern I'm dedicating to Wilma Mankiller, an interview with Wendy Knits, and a quick note from Meg Swansen.

 Some people rarely wear what they craft. If that were the case for Georgia Brown-Legler, she’d have a problem.

Joyce has baby stuff on the brain because of various friends' pregnancies or new arrivals, and a preview for this Sunday's Math4Knitters podcast.

When I was reviewing material for my first Crafty Living column about the Indiana Arts Commission grant for crafters, I began to wonder: What is the difference between arts and crafts? When does a craft become an art?
